Punctuation can be left out (except gov.doc.no)
When in doubt, use keyword
Phrase indexes & index records
All phrase indexes
are phrases - you
must start at the
beginning of the
phrase …
… but you don’t
always have to
type in the whole
thing

Harry Potter andthe half bloodprince / by J.K.Rowling
Harry Potterand the Orderof the Phoenix/ by J.K.RowlingHarry Potter
and theprisoner ofAzkaban /by J.K.Rowling
At the beginning of thephrase, don’t type “the,”“a,” “an” - or theirequivalent in anylanguage - unless it’sessential “Los Angeles weekly
news” “Thé au harem”
“the” is thrown out at thebeginning of a titlesearch. If your title startswith the string “the ”either type “the” twice, oruse a kw search
title index
Note: if you are looking for the title of a specific article,go to an article index database (if in journal) orkeyword (if in a book)
author index
For people, it must belastname firstname
For organizations, youhave to type the wholething from the beginningunited states congresssenate committee on …
You don’t have to typethe whole heading if thebeginning is uniquewalzer mich
You can only search oneauthor at a time(ex. don’t look forauthor “mills & walzer”)
Subject index
You can ignore all punctuation
Subject headings are “rotated”
The first subject has three
headings:
“mafia new jersey drama”
“new jersey drama mafia”
“drama mafia new jersey ”
but not
“mafia drama” or “new jersey
mafia” or “mafia on television”
Note: don’t start with a subject searchunless you absolutely know what you arelooking for - use keyword instead
Form is what the
thing is (film)
Genre is what kind of
thing the title is -
“gangster films”
These fields are not in
all records - you won’t
always get good
results
Form/genre index
Intolerant of typos
Implied “and”
“or” “not” “near”
Wildcards
* 1-5 chars.
** unlimited
wild cards only work with
keyword
Less is more
“senate subcommittee
border” instead of
Keyword search
After doing a keyword search,click on a subject heading toget all the records on that topic
Advanced keyword search
Use advanced keyword screen if You want to search on more than one thing You have a complex search You want to indicate a field for the kw search
Advanced keyword search
Multiple words can go one one line (basic kw
too)
Use parentheses if you want both terms
thought of as one concept
Use author, title or subject kw options for a
more specific search
Advanced keyword search 2
“select collections” =
change scope
Available = lib use only,
electronic, not checked
out
Year - you must fill in the
first box & the year
before the one you want
Hold down command key
(Mac) or ctrl key (PC) to
select more than one
value
“ANY” always is the same
as not choosing anything
Limits as keywords
Language lang+code
langeng (english)
Material type mattype+code
mattypev (DVDs)
Location branch+code
branchaal (AAL)
You can do these searches on the main screen
because the combinations are also “keywords”
Modifying (a.k.a. limiting) a phrase search
You can’t do a
“limited” search at
the same time as an
index search. It has
to be two steps
You can only click
on the “modify
search” button once
You have to specify
a kind of keyword,
can’t just search for
any word in the
record
